So Many Nights - music video shoot

So the best little eris song for this year is So Many Nights and after burning off a compilation of everything that was on my laptop for my mate Challis somehow only So Many Nights would play in his van!

Lucky for me the creative but humble video expert took a shine to the track after hearing it play repeatedly in his van for a few days and offered to make a music video for it.  After seeing the skate, dance and motocross videos  (quirky, amazing, lofi, spirited) that Chal had produced I was also really keen for him to make a video.

We set a date for the  shoot and  our fave pub landlords obliged us by letting us use their big room for the afternoon. I took a bag of clothes and props and at some point on seeing the river outside I realised that I would have to filmed in the river. The song was written about recovering from heartbreak and a time where I just wanted to lie down in a river and be washed away, to just decompose. It was therefore important for me to include the river whilst I had opportunity to be filmed.

So on a chilly grey Sunday afternoon , late February we gathered to produce some  green screen film footage which then turned into a dramatic extreme production with an audience.

The video is in post production now (had a sneak preview tonight, the video looks ultra kaleidoscopic)  and will be with us in a few weeks but for now here are a selection of pics from the shoot taken by Johnny Nigma.

....and just in case you don't know the track we are making a video for... here it is!!


big thanks to all involved with the video shoot, especially Stokesy for the inspiration and encouragement,  and special thanks also to Sheila and Elwyn
